Where have all our manners gone?

I think there's definitely an aspect that the social norm or the way people were expected to behave was more classy or formal, however you want to define those words, in the Victorian era. But I think a new evolution of culture is just simply a new ice cream flavour: it's neither inherently good or bad, it's just the way it is. I know some people who take Jersey Shore as evidence that the world is going to hell. But in the grand scheme of things, on the bigger timeline, I feel everything's okay. I've spent 5 minutes trying to find another way to put it but I can't.

By the way I upvoted you.
